Seven Days

A human rights activist in Iran, Maryam (Vishka Asayesh) has been imprisoned for six years when she's granted a seven-day medical leave. When he learns of this from exile with their two children in Germany, her husband (Majid Bakhtiari) arranges to have her smuggled across the border where they will meet her. What seems like an extraordinary chance for freedom becomes for Maryam a heartbreaking moral dilemma: rejoin her family, including her teenage daughter, or remain in solidarity with the political movement she joined to fight for her daughter's future.
